10/16/2007 5:53:00 PMIf you take a look at the report, you'll see that Lacamas Lake is classified as eutrophic because of high levels of phosphorus. For more information on eutrophication see here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutrophication). Basically, it's bad for a lake. It causes excessive plant growth, poor water color and transparency, bad smells, and most importantly (to us) a poor environment for desirable fish. All of these effects can be seen in Lacamas and Round and will continue to get worse if things don't change just like the closing comment in the report says, "In the absence of renewed lake and watershed management efforts, continuing human impacts to the lake are likely to erase past improvements and further degrade its beneficial uses."

10/17/2007 5:56:00 PMI agree to what everyone is saying, Lacamas and Round are definitely nasty. But Its like home to me since I have fished there my whole life. I agree that it has its smells and stuff, but I've gotten used to the nasty dead fish smell. Someday I hope to catch a mutated bass or old cat out of this lake. I asure you that there is some kind of Mutant bass or Catfish in Lacamas lake. Im Destind to find out! Just wait, someday there will be a post in the Newspaper saying Man catches Bass with three heads or Man catches Catfish with 5 eyes lol. Just think of it, Its actually a funny thought. I also think its a big possibility.

10/18/2007 9:32:00 PMthe only thing that makes me mad is one or two posts in the hystory of this site have said bad things about this lake, beside the skunking of a few fisherman noone exept for joe has never mentioned a smell or anything so that is just what i think
